EpilogueThe day after, quite late already, they'd told the news to Shalimar, Jesse and Adam. When they came out of Brennan's room, smiling faced greeted the two. Not a lot of words were needed to tell what happened.
Shal and Jesse just grinned at each other. Adam looked at them for quite a while, obvious deep in thoughts and slightly troubled. Relieved, Emma let out a small sigh when he finally smiled and congratulated them. It would have really troubled her if Adam hadn't approved with it.
Three weeks had passed since their first night together. Everything worked out just fine and Brennan and Emma tried to keep privacy and work separated and not to cling at each other to much, so no-one had trouble because of their relationship. Which was a little hard as soon as they all came back to Sanctuary.
Jesse couldn't help himself from asking if they were Siamese Twins for they stuck like glue together. Especially their lips seemed to be attached for some reason.
One day, Shalimar sat in the kitchen reading a book when Emma came rushing in. The door slammed hard close and she didn't even say hello. The grocery bags were thrown on the table and wordlessly Emma emptied them.
Shalimar looked surprised over to her friend. She saw her face having a very stressed expression on it and there was something else. Nothing she could recall though.
"What happened?"
Worried she asked her. Had Brennan done something stupid?
"Nothing!"
Emma almost spit out the word. Her behaviour was a deep contrast to it.
"Nothing wouldn't upset you that much!"
"It's not of your concern!"
Emma yelled angry at her friend. Shalimar's eyes grew wide and Emma backed a few steps away, startled by her own reaction to such a little question.
"I am sorry Shal, I…"
She couldn't finish the sentence. Instead, she broke out in tears.
The blond Mutant was up in a second and took her friend in a deep embrace. Sobbing, Emma pressed her face into the hollow of her neck and let herself being comforted.
After a little while she relaxed slowly and her crying faded away. She wiped the tears from her eyes and let go of Shalimar, who still held her hand
"You want to tell me?"
Emma looked at her and half nodded and half shook her head at the same time, new tears streaming from her eyes. She took something out of the last bag on the table and showed it to her.
Realizing what it was, the Feral understood what troubled her friend. Oh boy…
Half an hour later the two women sat on the side of the bathtub in their shared bathroom. They both stared on the little piece of plastic in the cup on the sink.
Excitement rushed through Shal's veins while Emma hadn't decided so far in what direction her feelings were heading.
"Time's up!"
"Yes.." Tiny voice.
"Go and have a look." Urging voice.
"I can't!" Almost crying again. What would he say?
"Then I'll go!" Determined, jumping up. A closer look and a deep intake of breath followed.
"Red or blue?"
Shalimar turned around and handed the result over to Emma, not saying anything. Just her eyes were full of emotions.
Jesse and Brennan came home. They still laughed about a silly joke Brennan was telling in the car.
"I am starving. Let's go and eat something!"
Jesse headed for the kitchen, pushing the door wide open.
"You are always starving. I can't believe how much you can eat!"
"You're just jealous because you're not having such a perfect body as I do!"
Brennan laughed out loud while he followed Jesse into the room.
"Perfect? I don't need to be perfect, I already have a girlfriend!"
Ouch, that hit his weak spot, Brennan noticed satisfied.
The grin on his face disappeared and surprised he looked at the mess on the table. What happened here?
Jesse must have had the same thought because he stepped closer, taking a box in his hand. Worry shone in his blue eyes as he turned to face Brennan.
"Something bad happened. They didn't even had time to put the ice-cream in the freezer!"
The elemental Mutant heard the last words while he already ran out of the door, Jesse following close behind.
"Shalimar? Emma? EMMA!"
Nobody was in the lab, the computer place was empty and so was the meditation room. They turned towards their rooms. While Jesse had a look in Shalimar's room, Brennan headed straight for Emma's place. Her bedroom was empty but the door to her bathroom was slightly open and he heard soft cries coming from behind it.
His heart almost skipped a beat as he stopped abrupt in front of the wooded door. Almost shy, he pushed it open and walked slowly in. Fear overtook him as he saw Shalimar sitting on the floor, holding the soft crying Emma in her arms.
The Feral looked up and smiled a little encouraging at him. She could see the questions racing through Brennan's mind but she shook her head silently. So he just fell on his knees besides of them and put his hand onto Emma's shoulder, gently caressing her with his fingers.
She lifted her head and her water filled eyes met his. For a second nobody moved. Then Emma let go of Shalimar and threw herself in her lovers arms, grabbing him very tight.
Footsteps came closer and Jesse looked around the corner. Surprised and relieved that nothing happened he watched his friends. Shalimar stood up and took his hand.
"I think we leave you two alone now to sort things out."
She pulled Jesse out of the bathroom and closed the door behind them.
Brennan was confused. He didn't know what made Emma cry so he just held her tight and whispered sweet nothingness to calm her until her sobs finally stopped and her breathing became deep and regular. He almost thought that she'd fallen asleep when she stirred in his arms.
"Tell me lovely. Please?"
He pushed her a little away until he could look into her eyes. Brennan took her head in both of his hands, caressing her cheeks with his thumbs, wiping the last tears away.
Emma sniffed a little. She lifted her arm and opened her hand.
"Oh!" Brennan couldn't think of something else to say.
The pregnancy test showed a blue line as result. Emma was not pregnant…
Her voice was now calm with just a few last shivers running through it.
"I was at the groceries today and met an old friend of mine. We wanted to meet and I looked up my calendar for a day and all of a sudden I realised that my period was overdue since at least a week. You know, we didn't use protection that first night."
She stopped and searched for words. Brennan placed a soft kiss on her forehead and pulled her close again.
"I didn't know how you would react and I was so scared you'd leave me and…" A new wave of sobs shook her and silently she started weeping again. He held her so tight now it was almost hurting her.
"I would never…", he let go of her, to look in her face again. "You hear, never leave you no matter what might happen."
Brennan kissed her and when he broke the kiss, the smile on his face got a little mischievous.
"Besides, when you get a Baby girl I could call the two most beautiful women my own!"
The End…
REALLY THIS TIME!!!!!
And sorry for the abrupt end, I ran out of words.
